Making the Cheesecake
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Gather your ingredients and equipment.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers, melted butter, and sugar. Press the mixture into a springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes or until lightly golden.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (163°C). Prepare your mixing bowl and electric mixer.
- Beat the cream cheese until smooth, then mix in the sugar, raspberry puree, vanilla extract, cornstarch, and heavy cream. Incorporate the eggs one at a time.
- Add pink food coloring if desired. Pour the filling over the cooled crust.
- Bake in a water bath for 55-65 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center has a slight jiggle.
- Turn off the oven and crack the door slightly. Let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour.
- Prepare the raspberry glaze by heating raspberry puree with sugar and cornstarch until thick.
- Once cooled, pour the glaze over the cheesecake, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 6 hours.
- Serve and garnish with whipped cream and fresh raspberries.

Notes
Ensure cream cheese and eggs are at room temperature. Bake in a water bath to prevent cracking. Chill overnight for best flavor.
